Chapter 547: Heavy Artillery Strikes Again

THE TYPE 89 TANK AND TYPE 95 TANKS WERE LIKE CHILDREN'S TOYS IN FRONT OF THE GERMAN-MADE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, AND TUNGSTEN CORE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS WERE SHOT OUT, AND A HUGE BLACK HOLE APPEARED IN ANY TANK HIT BY ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, AND THE JAPANESE ARMORED TROOPS INSIDE THE TANK DID NOT EVEN LEAVE A COMPLETE CORPSE.

The Japanese two Type 89 tanks were the first to be easily destroyed, and the four Type 95 tanks were quickly evacuated after being destroyed by one.

Ma Xuepeng calmly commanded the anti-tank gun platoon to counterattack, and one by one tungsten core armor-piercing shells were fired by the anti-tank guns.

The artillerymen were rigorously trained, and all the armor-piercing shells they fired hit the tank armored vehicles, and not a single armor-piercing shell was wasted.

The Japanese armored forces began to flee in the desert, and the troops of the armored battalion suffered heavy losses, and they naturally did not have the ability to pursue.

Although the anti-tank gun is a sharp weapon for destroying tanks, it is not a self-propelled gun after all, and it is simply impossible to pursue the Japanese armored forces.

After killing four Japanese tanks and three armored vehicles, Ma Xuepeng and other artillerymen could only watch the rest of the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks flee in disarray.

When Sun Weiguo arrived here, the battle was over, Yin Jinshan took the soldiers to rescue the wounded, and the deputy battalion commander Xiao Zhiwei took a few personnel to inspect the damaged tanks and armored vehicles.

"Brigade commander, the first battle group, the second battle group, Wang Naigui's detachment has begun to flank the first brigade of the Japanese melee, this time the little devil can't run. In addition, cavalry units carried out a surprise attack on the Japanese tank unit, causing casualties to a Japanese infantry squadron. Brigade commander, the current battle situation is still favorable to us, maybe we can still completely annihilate this group of devil soldiers. ”

The guard Xiao Wang held the message brought by Luo Hongyi, the commander of the communication company just now, and he said excitedly.

Taking the telegram from Xiao Wang's hand, Sun Weiguo couldn't help but smile on his face, he looked at the telegram, and was just about to give an order.

But before Sun Weiguo could open his mouth and give an order, Luo Hongyi, the company commander of the communication company, quickly came to Sun Weiguo.

"An urgent message from the brigade commander, the commander of the Gui detachment of the 3rd Battle Group, and Chief of Staff Zhao." Luo Hongyi said nervously.

Hearing that it was an urgent message from the third battle group, Sun Weiguo did not dare to delay anything, and he immediately read it.

After seeing the content of the message, the expression on Sun Weiguo's face couldn't help but change, he immediately took out the map he was carrying, and after opening the map, he immediately measured the distance.

"It's not good, order all departments to immediately withdraw to the starting place, the speed must be fast!" Sun Wei said solemnly in Chinese.

The telegram sent by Captain Gui and Zhao Lerong naturally informed that there was a Japanese heavy artillery unit in Lijiazhuang Town, that Lijiazhuang Town in Xiyang County was not very far from Pingding County, and that the artillery position set up by the four heavy artillery guns of the Japanese army in Lijiazhuang Town could directly cover the scope of the artillery bombardment to Shimen Town, and at this time, the first battle group and the second battle group, Wang Naigui's detachment, which were encircling and intercepting the first brigade and regiment in the melee, were all within the range of the four heavy artillery of the Japanese army!

After receiving such a report, Sun Weiguo did not dare to hesitate at all, but he had seen the power of the Japanese army's heavy artillery, and he did not think about it, and directly issued the order to evacuate.

Before Sun Weiguo's order could be delivered, four fast-moving lights began to appear in the sky in the distance, and as these four moving lights got closer and closer, cannonballs like four large fireballs began to appear in the air.

Four shells streaked through the air and landed accurately on the ground, a huge explosion sounded, firelight appeared, and the smoke filled the air, and the ground seemed to shake with it.

"Boom, boom." Huge explosions were heard incessantly, and one shell after another began to hit the Chinese troops near Shimenmen Town.

The tens of thousands of Chinese troops who gathered their main forces near Shimen Town to strike at the 1st Brigade of the melee instantly began to become a live target for the Japanese army's four 105MM cannons.

Shells fell and exploded, and dozens or hundreds of casualties began to appear, especially local units such as the Independent Detachment, the Yongxing Detachment, and the Wang Naigui Detachment, which had no experience in dealing with the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, and many soldiers still felt that this kind of shells would not pose a threat to them.

However, after the explosion of the grenade fired by this heavy artillery, the killing range is tens of meters, and even if it is outside the killing range, it will be damaged by the shock wave.

In a short moment, the casualty figures of various units rose as rapidly as rockets.

The Japanese troops were definitely not tofu scum, otherwise the difficult War of Resistance would not have lasted so long, and the backward Chinese troops were under great pressure in the face of the heavily armed Japanese troops.

Relying on the advanced weapons, the Japanese troops brought unimaginable losses to the Chinese troops again and again.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS TIME, THE JAPANESE ARMY'S 105MM CANNON COULD SHELL THE CHINESE TROOPS IN PINGDING COUNTY IN XIYANG COUNTY, BUT THE CHINESE TROOPS DID NOT HAVE ANY ARTILLERY TO COUNTERATTACK, AND THE CHINESE TROOPS COULD ONLY BE BEATEN PASSIVELY, BUT THERE WAS NO ARTILLERY TO COUNTERATTACK.

When the Major General of the 1st Brigade of the Melee Brigade Nakanomura Momoyo heard the sound of artillery, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and organize defensive positions on the spot.

The Japanese heavy artillery unit has professional equipment that can measure and accurately shoot Zhuyuan, and the artillery detachment of the 1st Brigade of the melee also has relevant equipment and talents.

One after another, the shells hit the Chinese troops like eyes, and the Chinese troops, who seemed to be about to be able to eat the first brigade of the melee, could only choose to withdraw in the face of the heavy artillery attack of the Japanese army.

THE APPEARANCE OF FOUR 105MM CANNONS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY SAVED THE FATE OF THE FIRST BRIGADE FROM BEING ENCIRCLED AND ANNIHILATED.

The Chinese troops reluctantly evacuated with their wounded, and the Japanese heavy artillery had a very large killing range, so if they fought rashly, the casualties of the troops could not be bearable, not to mention that the first brigade in the besieged melee was not a soft persimmon, they had excellent weapons and ammunition, and the brigade commander Naganomura Momoyo was extremely exquisite.

"Brigade commander, the casualties of each department have been counted, the Japanese heavy artillery has brought us more than 300 casualties, fortunately the troops evacuated in time, and fortunately, the Japanese army only has four heavy artillery." Qin Xianliang, who came back from the front line to supervise the battle, took the statistics of casualties to Sun Weiguo, and he said helplessly.
